Freeport, Grand Bahama Island - Lucaya International School has raised a whopping $42,000 for Haiti Relief!  When the catastrophic earthquake hit the small caribbean island, Columbus Communication, agreed to double the school’s contribution efforts.  Mr. Brendan Paddick, President of Colombus Communications,  visited LIS to present the final check for the L.I.S. Haiti Relief Fund.   Mr. Paddick related that he had made this deal with six different schools in six different Caribbean countries where his company does business and stated that LIS raised the most money by far of any of the schools that he had worked with.  

The money has been donated to Save the Children to assist them with their relief work in Haiti.  "A huge thanks must be given to our students incredible fundraising effort" said Chris Mockrish, LIS School Director.  "The students, teachers, parents and local companies all got involved. It was truly an example of a community coming together for a great cause."
